DOC THOM AYRSHIRE ORDER OF MERIT - Michael Smyth in front with four counting events remaining

Michael Smyth (Royal Troon) is out in front in the race for the 2021 Ayrshire Order of Merit title and the Doc Thom Salver.

First place and full points in the recent Troon St Meddans Open put Smyth just over 200 points clear of club mate Blair Morton in second place.

A win in the recent Viking Krus 36 hole event at Largs, which included a second round score of 64,  moved John Shanks (Irvine) into third place in the table.

There are only four events remaining this year, including the Mainholm Cup on the 15th of August, the Ballochmyle Rosebowl on the 22nd of August, The Stone Trophy at Routenburn in Largs on the 11th of September and the Arrol Cup at Prestwick St Nicholas on the 18th of September.
